GAINESVILLE.
July 26. 1887,

JULY 70, lOots
The warm weather reported last week
has been followed by rains, and for the
past eight days some rain has fallen
each day. 1t is still very warm, but
the evenings are cool enough to be pleas
ant, and make good sleeping nights.
Truly this Is relief after the heat OF
last week.
The dead lock" in the school board
was broken last week BY the election of
Mr.. Morris, of Garretsville, o., as SUI
perintendent, but upon notifying him of
his election he telegraphed that he had
already accepted position in Pennsyl'
vania, so the thing is still undecided.
Mr.. Bowers, of GAINESVILLE, was elected
as high school teacher in place of w. R.
Malone. This change is meeting with
some disapproval as Mr.. MalOne's work
last year was deserving of the highest
praise, and far above the high school
work for some years past. Another
meeting will be held Monday night.
Our people are still fleeisg to the
Burr's Mills Camp; the families of L. L.
HaHlon and Eli Moore leave this week
for the cool shade of the camp ground.

Fawcett, wife of Nj. L. Fawcett, of this
place, died after an illness of many
years, aged 63 years. She had long been
resident of Barnesville and leaves a
large circle of warm friends who mourn
| her death. The funeral took place Sat-
urday afternoon and was very largely
attended both by our people, and friends
from Belmont their former home.
A crowd of young men, about fifteen
in number, have gone on fishing eXpe+
dition down the Muskingum. 1t is a
lively crowd and they expect to have a
good time. Some of them are married
men, but they didn't take their wives.

THE Gazette has authority for the statement
that misneasurements on stone work ON vari
GUS bridges in the past year has cost the county
ST. ,000 or more.-Gazette.
Let us have the specifications. Name
the bridges.
This reckless declaration is character
istic of the Gazette. Some contractor
enraged at the Commissioners because
they will not permit the county to be
robbed by him-has found the Gazette
a willing vehicle through which to circu-
late this assault upon them. The prob
ability is that it has no other foundation
than the hate of some foiled plunderer
But let as have the specifications.

WHEN time shall have cleared away the mists
of party prejudice and healed the wounds OF dis
appointed aspirants, the administration Of Pres
ident HAYES will be recorded one of the ablest
in American history.-LOuisville Commercial.
In all our history there has been no
cleaner administration than that OF
President Hayes. Its southern policy
provoked opposition among some Re
publicsns; but that policy had already
been outlined and to some extent enter
ed upon by the administration of Presi-
dent Grant, and was inevitable follow
ing the defeat of the Force Bill. The
defeat of that bill cost the Republican
party a half dozen southern states, im-
periled the election Of 1876, and has eff
fectually solidifed the Democratic party
in the south.

THERE is no adjective expressive of
the depths of dishonesty which can fitly
characterize the man who takes paper
for years without paying for it and inal-
ly has the postmaster send to the pub,
Usher an official notification that the
paper is not taken out but lies dead in
the Office, refused" or that other man
who moves away with his paper in ar
rears. leaving his paper dead in the Of
fee. We intend, hereafter, to publish
the names of ali of these dead-beats
who impose upon us in order that the
general public may be wsrned.-Guern-
sey TImes.
There are some men on The CHRoNI-
Gle list who have taken the paper q
good many years without manifesting
any purpose to pay. who will 6nd their
names on dead beat list some of these
fine days. if they do not soon show
some movement looking to the payment
Of their accounts.

THE st. Louis committee interviewed
the President on Monday and through
the Mayor of the city invited him to
visit st. Louis for the week commenc-
ing Oct Sd. Mr.. Cleveland accepted the
invitation with thanks. The country
can now breathe freer, and the great
west will 60 on booming just the
same as it did before Grover laid eyes
upon it. There is another satisfaction
the President instead of confronting the
horned yankees" survivors of the late
war, will confront the horned steers at
the st. Louis Fair, which have no spe
cial feeling on the rebel flag order mat
ter. Union soldiers who happen to at
tend the Fair during the President 8
visit, should be careful to refrain from
any reference to pension vetoes, flags, or
anything of the sort.

Mr.. Powell is fooling with loaded
gun. In his convention speech. at
Cleveland. he said:
As conclusive evidence that the mis-
sion of political traders in war animosi+
ties has ended, we have the fact that
even Governor Foraker stood silent and
saw the rebel soldiers (at the late Gettys-
burg reunion) embrace the boys in blue
and never applied to the courts to re-
strain them.
There is a wide difference between
the old soldiers of two armies holding q
friendly reunion on battlefield and the
victorious army s1rrendering the prin-
ciples for which it fought or the fiags
which it won.
Mr.. Powelrs attempt to laugh the
rebel flag case out of court indicates that
he has not been able to see the differ
euce referred to, but be will know more
about it when the gun goes off.-Colum-
bus Dispatch.

WHEN the public is reminded that
the only robberies the treasury of this
county has ever suffered have been at
the hands of Democrats, the Gazette
wriggles and ssuirms, and yells "graye+
yard" We have no desire to recall
those unpleasant events, but they are
matters of history, which, when the pa
per that defended and justified the rObt
berries, undertakes to set itself up in
judgment upon other men, it is entirely
proper should be recalled.
The Gazette is to-day, and always has
been the organ and defender of treasu
~ plunderers.

some persons who are interested in
the approaching senatorial contest in
this district are inquiring as to the time
of holding the senatorial convention.
The committee to fix the time and place
of holding the convention is as follows:
For Belmont county-A q Mitchell, of
st. Clairsville; K Shotwell, of Somer-
ton, and S B Piper, of Barnesville. For
Harrison county, NJ Garven and W
B Hearn, of Cadiz, and C A Spiker, of
Tippecanoe. Candidates wanting to
know anything about the convention,
should address any or all OF these
parties.

Mr.. KERR, of Martins Ferry, said at the
Prohibition convention that the petitions of
10000 temperance people of the State were
chucked into the waste baskets of a Republi-
can Legislature. Mr.. Kerr ought to have
known that he was telling falsehoed. The
petitions were referred to a committee on
which there were better temperance men than
he is, and several bills were reported back
and voted for by every Republican who does
not live in large city, but voted against by
every Democrat except four. Mr.. Kerr should
tell the truth. Laws were passed by that
Legislature that have wiped out more liquor
saloons in Ohio than the political Prohibition
lists have stopped in twenty-five years.-Bell-
ajre Tribune.
1t is a remarkable fact that when a
Republican gets his shins well warmed
under the prohibition mahogany he is
more unreasonable in his antagonism of
his former political associates than of
any other class of men. There was
brother Monroe, for instance, who an
uounced with such boldness that the
only road to success of the prohibition
party was through the destruction of
the Republican party. The brethren
should curb their tongues.
The Democratic party of Ohio is IRE.
yocably committed against all manner
of legislation that will damage the
liquor traffic, and these men know it.
The prohibition party ticket is meant to
help the Democrats carry the state, and
these men know it. Ii that is done,
there is very strong probability that re-
strictive laws now upon our statute
books will be repealed. or 80 materially
amended as to destroy their efficacy. 1t
is the proclaimed purpose of the politi>
cal prohibitionists to destroy the Dow
tax law. That law has closed about 90
saloons in this county. and has materi.
ally iessensd the evils resulting from
the liquor traffic. These men know it,
and yet they would destroy it.

THE ticket and platform of the Democ.
racY will be found on the first page Of
this issue.
Thomas E. Powell, the nominee for
Governor. resides at Delaware. He was
Republican until 1872. Since then he
has acted with the Democrats, and with
the kid wing of the party. Mr.. Powell
is man of fair ability, and of good
character.
d. C. Goldman, candidate for Lieuten>
ant Governor, resides at Ravenna. He
trains with the coal oil crowd, and was
one Of the most active partisans of
Payne in the Senatorial contest of 1888
against Pepdleton and Durbin Ward. AS
a penitentisry manager, und5r Governor
Hoadly, he made bad record.
Emil Keiswetter is serving a term as
Auditor of State. His administration
of the Office has not been a successful
one.
Lyman R Critchfeld has been a Com
mon Pleas Judge, at Millersburg. His
reputation is good.
The other candidates upon the ticket
are unknown quantities.
The platform, very appropriately
starts out with the old and thrice-slaiI
demand for tariff for revenue only
endorses the policy of President
Cleveland, without naming a single
specific act of his administration worthy
of approval-and winds up with the ole
and worn-out declaration in favor of &
license system. This feature Of the
party's declarations demands the care
full attention of the people. No licens,
is obtainable in Ohio under our present
Constitution. and until that instrument
is amended all talk about license is idle
and mischievous, and is in the interest
of free whisky and ungoverned saloons
When the party controlled the Legisla'
ture 1t took no action to secure license
and it does not mean to do it now. Th,
convention denounces the Republican
administration of the state "unbusiness
like" and then proceeds to nominate
for Lieutenant Governor a man whos'
business methods wrecked the peniten
tiary, and for Auditor of State a mar
who was for a time under a cloud o.
suspicion at Columbus. and who SEEM

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads to consumption. 1t is, there
FORE singular that those afflicted with this fear
full disease should not make it the object of theiI
lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies
concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowl-
edge have weakened the confidence of the great ma
jorty of sufferers in all advertised remedies They
become resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous SYM
toms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the or
gans of hearing of seeing and of tasting so affected
as to be useless the uvula elongated, the throat
so infiamed and irritated as to produce constant
and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase of
Catarrh from a simple head cold to the most loath
some and destructive stages 1t is local and consl
tutional Instant in relieving permanent in curing,
